People aren't understanding of what other people are going through. Not a lot of people show compassion to those who need it. Gay people? Lesbian people? Mocked. For what they believe is true love, what they think is right for THEM. It doesn't affect anyone else, but yet it is so hard for people to be okay with gay and lesbian people. Transgendered people? No one accepts that they've found who they're truly comfortable being. People can't get past that how the gender you choose to live doesn't always match up with the gender you were born with. They mock instead of trying to understand. Those who wear black, those who may have suffered from cutting? They're made fun of. called emo. Goth. People ask them, "Why don't you just go die anyways?". So they do. Only 1 out of 5 people will accept these people. That's not enough. They need people to stand up for them, to want them to live. They need hope. In this day and age luckily there are more and more foundations for giving help. The problem is, not enough people realize, or have someone realize that they need help. When there is a moment with too much emotion, they do it. It's so easy to commit suicide, and more and more people everyday are feeling like they don't fit in, or don't belong, and suicide is what they turn to. It's not just their problem. It's society's fault too. Pushing girls and boys to fit a certain 'image'. Slim girls with perfect hair. Muscular tan boys. Those people aren't real. But lots of people strive to be perfect, and when they can't be perfect, suicide is what they think of. Some people get depressed when they are stressed. Drugs and smoking aggravate this. Who wants to help the smoker? The druggie? Nobody. The depression, the drugs, and the feeling that nobody wants to help you all lead to suicide. People have heavier workloads these days so stress is increased. Another is the breakdown of family. Parents who work too much will often have children who hate them. Then their children feel like they have no place in this world, and nobody to help them.
